Scientific spokes.

And now, asks Popular Schemes
Monthly, how far can we account on
these principles for the existence of the
individual genius? Well, here we must
begin by clearing the ground for great
initial fallacy. Genius. as a rule, has
made quite too much of itself. Having
bad the field all to itself, it has never
been tired of drawing hard and fast
line between itself and mere talent.
Nevertheless, from the psychological
point of view, nothing is palmer than
the faa that genius differs from nero
talent only by tue very slightest excess
os natural gifts in a special direction.

Paying the Traitor.

Men use treachery and despise the
traitor. Their moral sense revolts
against the means which their craving
for success persuades them to use. Tho
fact shows that faith in the moralist's
maxim. Nothing is expedient which is
dishonorable,' is not strong enough to
remove this moral contradiction. And
30 the world which makes success q
duty, will continue to pay and despise
the traitor.
The late Count de Chamboard's birth
occurred after the assassination of his
father, the Duke de Berri, in 1920. His
mother, q woman of great courage and
force of character-sh offered to lead
the royal troops against the revolutions.

French. throne as the only Legitimate
Bourbon.
In 1882 she landed near Marseilles
and appealed to the French Legiti-
mists to rise against Lonis Philippe.
The appeal fell upon deaf ears, and the
duchess was obliged to hide herself.
One of her suite, named Deutz, agreed
to sell to the government, for 10000
francs, the secret of her hiding place.
The betrayed duchess was arrested and
imprisoned.
TO NJ. Didier. the secretary of the
Minister of the Interior, was assigned
the disagreeable duty Of paying the
traitor. At the appointed hour, Di-
dier called his son into the office, and
said
Look we'll now at what passes, and
never forget it. You will learn what o
scoundrel is, aud the method of paying
him."
The secreta., spoke to messenger,
and Deutz. the traitor, was brought in.

containing 25,G00 francs. As Deutz APP

mont majority, thus insuring the cleo
tion of Democratic Legislature. Ten
wears afterward, in 1857, General Il. b.
HAYES was the Republican candidate
for Governor, and Allan G. Thurman
the Democratic nominee. In 1865 the
State had gone Republican by about 3d.
900 majority, but Judge thurman ma re,
duced this majority to about 500, and
a Democratic general assembly, was
elected. That body afterward elected
Mr.. Thurman to the Senate OF the
United States, and he was subsequent
" reelected. In 1877, the year follow
ing the Presidential election, the, Re
publicans nominated, in Cleveland, as
their candidate for Governor, William
H. West of Logan county, the "blind
orator" The Democratic nominee was
Richard M. Bishop of CINCINNATI, who
was elected, and the Legislature chosen
was of the same political complexion
Thus it will be seen that in '57 the
Democrats carried the Legislature and
nearly elected the Governor; that in '67
the Republican candidate for Governor
narrowly escaped defeat, and the Demo
Gratis won the Legislature and the
United States Senator. Again in VI
the Democrats won, electing both Gov
ernor and Legislature. This collection
of facts may be of interest to many
Young voters of the State. And now
comes 1877! The Republican managers
when talking for the public ear seem
to be very confident of carrying the
State by sweeping majority, basine
their great expectations upon the sup
position and the hope that the new
Union Labor party will draw more
largely from the Democratic than from
the Republican vote. But in their Sc
cret conclaves they are as much puzzlec

Luxuriant Hair

Can only be preserved by keeping the
scalp clean, cool, and free from dan
druff, and the body in a healthful
condition. The great popularity Of
Ayers Hair Vigor is due to the fact
that it cleanses the scalp, promotes the
growth Of the hair, prevents it from
falling out, and gives it that soft and
silky gloss so essential to perfect beauty.
Frederick Hardy, Of Roxbury, Mass,
gentleman fifty years of age, was fast
losing his hair, and what remained was
growing gray. After trying various
dressings with no effect, he commenced
the use of Ayers Hair Vigor. ."It
